Actually, the macro should be:

(defmacro anything-add-to-actions (var action)
  `(setq ,var (cons (car ,var)
                    (append
                     (cdr ,var)
                     (list ',action)))))

And to add an action:

(anything-add-to-actions anything-actions-file
                         ("Open File with default Tool" .
                           (lambda (filename)
                             (call-process "/usr/bin/open" nil 0 nil 
filename))))
